Dominic Santini is the owner and operator of Santini Air, a charter and movie stunt flying business.
|
In his 60īs, the grizzled Italian-American can and has flown in just about every aircraft imaginable; from piloting B-17īs and Spitfires in World War II, to serving as engineer and backup for Hawke in Airwolf. He probably soloed in a Jenny at five, and Santini can fly it, fix it, and curse it with the best of them.
Santini is outgoing and cheerful as they come. He has seen just about all that a man can see, and is quite willing to talk about it, often to distraction. Dominic knows life well and enjoys every minute of it. The easy going Dominic does have a bit of a temper however, and can launch into a barrage of Italian nearly as devastating as one of his haymakers.
Dominic shows a bit of fatherly concern for Hawke, or String as he calls him, and perhaps a touch of Jewish motherhood. Dominicīs concern for Hawke is a holdover from the days he raised Stringfellow and Saint John, being their fatherīs best friend and flying buddy in the old days.
One thing you can depend on, Dominic will always be there to back Hawke, or bail him out of trouble. Dominic Santini? No one could be a better friend to Hawke.
